Just letting you peeps know my first manual voyage was superb!!! Fu***n HELL its quick!! what a difference the manual box makes, spun the rears in 3rd and I was taking it easy! Too excited to put the bonnet back on, so took her out for a gentle 15 mins,very worried waiting for something to fall off, then felt a bit more confident and give it some throttle and shes off like a rocket!! The prop is vibrating like a T**t at 50mph, but I noticed the centre rubber was goosed when putting it back, so i need a new rubber or prop or 1 piece prop!!

So i`m really chuffed with myself as i have never attempted anything like this before, and with help from you guys it made it so much easier, so thanks

 

I`ve got a big shopping list of to do`s now, so i better get saving!

 

Daz :thumbup:

 

Great work Daz, really happy for ya!

 

I guess now the silver one is manual, you shall no longer be needing the convertible. So I'll send you my address later so you can get my new car sent to me... :tt2:

 

Oh and theres a company on ebay that are selling pattern support bearings, buy it now £35. Not sure if they are any good but I don't think I'd hesitate to buy one.

Cheers bud, That Zac is in for a big race now, the Southport streets are gonna get torn up!! :scooter:
